WARPiNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 689,357,

dated December 17, 1901.

Original application filed October 4, 1900, Serial No. 31,967. Dividedand this application filed March 5, 1901. Serial I To all whom it mayconcern:

Be it known that I, WALTER J. GARLICK, a citizen of the United States,residing in Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New 5Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWarping-Machines; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tocharacters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification. This invention relates to warping machines; and it hasreference to that portion of a machine of this nature which is comprisedin the mechanism whereby the machine is driven.

The object of the invention is to provide the mechanism whereby thewarping-machine is driven with an improved form of throwout apparatus ofthat construction whereby when a predetermined amount of material 2 5has been wound upon the reel of the machine said apparatus operates todisconnect the power instantaneously, thus permitting the reel to stop.

The present application is a division of an application for UnitedStates Letters Patent for warping-machines, filed by me October 4, 1900,Serial No. 31,967.

My invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein-Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a warping-machine of the usualpattern-provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a view in frontelevation of my improved machine. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of aportion 0 of the machine, taken on a vertical line just forward of theaxis of the reel. Fig. 4 is a view in side elevation of a portion ofwhat is shown in Fig. 1, the various parts being enlarged. Figs. 5 and 6are respectively a front view and a view on the line 00 w in Fig. 5 ofthe measuring mechanism constituting the automatic means whereby thepower is controlled, and Fig; 7 is a perspective view of a certainclutch member.

In said drawings, Ct designates the frame other end of this shaft issecured a (No model.)

of the warping-machine, and 1) denotes the reel, the axis 0 of which inthe usual manner is journaled in antifriction-bearings d, suitablyarranged on said frame. To one side of the reel is secured the usualcircular flange 8, against which is adapted to bear a frictionroller f,carried in a pivoted bracket g and rendered controllable by a lever h, fulcrumed at t' in such manner that by raising or lowering the lever thecontact between the roller and flange may be made or broken. The rollerf is secured upon one end of a short shaft j, journaled in the bracketg, and at the pair of pulleys 70, over either of which may extend thebelt Z, whereby power is taken into the machine. The free end of lever htakes under this shaft. Upon the shaftj I also mount anotherfriction-roller m, against which bears still another friction-roller n,carried by a bracket 0, said bracket being pivoted in the frame andbeing controlled by a spring p, which normally acts to hold the twofrictionrollers incontact with each other.

q is a pulley formed with the roller 11., and v r is a crossed beltwhich extends around said pulley and also around another pulley s,whichis so journaled on a horizontal revoluble shaft t, having bearings inbrackets to, projecting from the front of the frame a, that it may berevolved freely on said shaft.

a; and tow designate normally engaging clutch members, the former ofwhich forms a part of the pulley s and the latter of which is securedupon the shaft t-and is adapted to rotate therewith. The clutch member10, it should be remarked, has a peripheral projection as, which will behereinafter referred to.

y denotes radial arms which project from the pulley, forming tappets.

The clutch members are normally held in contact with each other by aspiral spring a, which is coiled between the pulley s and a hand-wheel1,which is secured rigidly on the end of the shaft 25, so that, ifdesired, the lat- 95 ter may be manually rotated. (The handwheel is notshown in Figs. .1 and l.)

At the front of the machine is pivoted to the lower portion of the framea treadle-lever 2, the free end of which rests upona lever 3, I00

also fulcrumed in the frame, and is connected with that end of the leverh which is remote from the shaftj, which it supports by a coupling 4.The treadle is normally lifted by a spring 5, connecting it with theupper portion of the frame. The treadle is also connected with the upperportion of the frame by toggle-levers 6 and 7 of such construction thatso long as they are alined (the former being pivoted in a bracket 8,projecting down wardly from the frame, while the latter is pivotallyconnected to the treadle) the spring5 cannot act to raise thetreadle-lever, whereas as soon as their alineinent is disturbed saidlever may be raised by the spring. From the lever 6 projects an arm 9,and to this arm through the medium of a plate-spring 10 is secured ablock 11, the arrangement being such that the parts together constitutea flexible extension of the lever 6, which will bend laterally but notvertically. The block normally extends in a plane immediately at theside of the tappets y; but should something stop the rotation of theshaft 25, which, be it observed, is normally driven by the belt rthrough the medium of the clutchmembers, the tappets will be broughtinto alinement with it, this being, of course, due to the fact thatthough the shaft ceases to rotate the pulley .9 continues to rotate, andso upon the consequent disconnection of the clutch members the member isforced laterally, moving the tappets with it.

It will be observed that should at any time the tappets be movedlaterally when one of them is at the side of the block 11 the flexiblemounting ofsaid block,already described, will duly permit the movement.When the tappets 3 have been brought into such position that the block11 lies in their path of movement, one of them will engage it, causingthe toggle-levers to buckle, and thus permitting the spring 5 to raisethe treadle-lever 2, which action will lift the adjacent end of thelever h and lower its other end. The result will of course be thedisconnection of the friction-roller f and the flange e, thus throw ingoff the power from the reel, and also the disconnection of the rollersin and n, throwing off the power to the pulley s. It should be remarkedthat the reel is provided with the usual belt-brake 12, which is securedat one end to the frame, extends around the flange e, and at its otherend is secured to a weighted lever 13.

Upon the axis 0 of the reel is mounted a worm 14, which is adapted toengage with the teeth 15 of an indicating-wheel 16, saidindicating-Wheel being journaled in a bracket 17, projecting from theframe, and carrying a pin 18, which is adapted to be engaged bya pivotedpawl 19, carrying a hammer 20, which whenever the pin slips past thepawl 19 strikes against a gong 21.

22 designates a pointer carried by the bracket 17 and cooperating withthe indicating-wheel to register the amount of material wound on thereel.

In the Wheel is formed a recess 23, and bearing against the face of saidwheel in the path of the recess is the free end of a pawl 24, controlledby a spring 25 and connected to a rod 20, which is in turn pivotallyconnected to a lever 27, that is fulcrumed in the frame. To this leveris also connected another rod 28, movable in .a guide 29 and adapted tohave its free end projected into the path of the projection an of theclutch member 10. Thus the indicating-Wheel being set back (by virtue ofan arrangement of parts which is old and unnecessary of descriptionhere) so that the pointer registers thereon the number of yards which itis intended the reel should contain when the machine is put in operationand has continued to operate until theindicating-wheel has been broughtback to its initial position, the pawl 19 will move into the recess 23and through the rod 26 and lever 27 move the path of the projection 00,so as to stop the rotation of the shaft 15.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a warping-machine, the combination, with the frame and a reeljournaled in said frame, of a movable driving device adapted to engagesaid reel, means for rotating said device, a lever fulcrumed in saidframe and adapted to engage said device to move the same, toggle-levers,a coupling pivotall y connected to said lever at one end, operativeconnection between the other end of said coupling and one of saidtoggle-levers, a revoluble tappet device adapted to engage one of saidtoggle-levers to buckle the latter, a Warp-registering mechanismcontrolled by said reel, and mechanism, operatively connecting saidwarp-registering mechanism and the tappet device, for actuating thelatter, substantially as described.
